Super Mario: Elemental Journey is a 3D Platformer in the vein of Super Mario 64. It is part of the Exotendo Super Mario Bros. series, taking place after Super Mario Maker Phi. This installment features new elemental stars for Mario and other characters to collect as well as stacking power-ups.

Gameplay[]

The gameplay is based on the Super Mario 64 and Galaxy games. Characters are controlled with the analog stick and can jump with V2Action Red. The trigger buttons make characters crouch, do somersaults, and do long jumps. Some characters can also triple jump by jumping with precise timing three times, each time jumping higher than before. The lower trigger buttons center the camera behind characters, while the D-Pad can adjust the camera angle manually. By pressing up on the d-pad, the player can enter a first person perspective.

The player chooses a character via the Character Pipe in the Hub World they are currently at or selects a character before the course begins, similar to Super Mario 3D World. Characters can also collect multiple power-ups and have their effects stack, as opposed to previous games that overwrote the player's abilities when they used a different power-up. This allows for interesting combinations such as Fire Bunny Mario or Oni Ice Marble Rosalina. Additionally, characters become more powerful when using certain powerups as the game progresses and the player collects more Elemental Stars.

Similar to Super Mario Odyssey, the concept of 1-Ups has been more or less completely eliminated. The player's coin count now represents their lives, and they lose 10 upon death, although they can return to the spot where they died to collect them. Coins are also a currency; they can be used to purchase Elemental Stars in the hub worlds or Power-Ups.

All missions are unlocked at the start of each world you visit. When completing a mission and collecting the Elemental Star, the player can return to the Hub World or take on a new mission, with the parameters being set up to do it properly. When collecting Elemental Moons, the player is never asked to go back to the hub world.

Plot[]

After defeating Themis again, Mario and the others return home via Rosalina's Comet Observatory when they bump into a lighthouse. It turns out to be the Cosmic Lighthouse, home to Cosmetta, Rosalina's sister who hasn't seen her in years. They two reunite and then realizes that Cosmetta is about to destroy a planet with a black hole. Rosalina stops Cosmetta but the planet she was just about to destroy breaks apart to reveal a villainous creature named Khrysalis and the Elemental Stars, a villain who blasts the observatory and lighthouse away. Cosmetta shoots at Khrysalis with a black hole gun. Rosalina realizes that the black hole merely relocated Khrysalis into a alternate dimension.

In this alternate dimension, Khrysalis is able to control The Comet Observatory, The Cosmic Lighthouse, Peach's Castle, and Daisy's Kingdom as they soon realize. Khrysalis kidnaps the Toads, the Lumas, Princess Peach, and Princess Daisy with representations of Themis, Bowser, Tatanga, and Slanito. The Elemental Stars were scattered due to Cosmetta's attack and Rosalina realizes that they need to use the Elemental Stars to defeat Khrysalis. Mario, Luigi, Rosalina, and Cosmetta head to find the Elemental Stars to fight Khrysalis and defeat her once and for all.

As they collect the Baron Keys, they find a door that follows them from hubworld to hubworld with four locks, each fitting one of the Baron Keys.

Power-Ups[]

Power-Ups stack in this game, meaning that the player can have multiple powers to utilize at the same time. Some powers can be written over and some power-ups are exclusive to certain characters, but the player can play around with the variety of power-ups in many unique ways.

Item Information
Mushroom (Mario Kart 8)

Mushroom

The Mushroom is an all-time classic power-up. When you're small and on your last hit, the Mushroom makes you normal size and gives you just one more hit to take.
FireFlowerSM3DW

Fire Flower

Another all time classic power-up. This flower transforms characters into a fire form which is able to throw fireballs which bounce three times before disappearing into the air. These become powered up the more Fire Stars you collect.
IceFlower LTL

Ice Flower

It's appeared before, but this flower transforms characters into a ice form which is able to throw ice balls which bounce three times before disappearing into the air. These turn enemies into ice, which can be picked up and thrown at other enemies or become temporary platforms. These become powered up the more Water Stars you collect.
ThunderFlowerA

Thunder Flower

This flower transforms characters into a thunder form which is able to throw thunder which shoots straight without bouncing, zapping enemies and electrifying objects. These become powered up the more Thunder Stars you collect.
EarthFlower

Earth Flower

This flower transforms characters into a earth form which is able to throw dirt balls which roll on the ground, becoming bigger as long as they're touching ground and can become temporary platforms. These become powered up the more Earth Stars you collect.
Horoflower

Horoflower

???
BulletSuit

Bullet Suit

A limited use power-up similar to the Cloud Flower. It shoots the character forward in the direction they were facing until they reach a wall or stay in the air for 15 seconds before allowing them to drop. It has three charges before the player loses it. This power-up doesn't really stack, however you will not lose any of your power-ups if you use all three charges.
MarbleMushroom

Marble Mushroom

The Marble Mushroom allows characters to take 10 extra hits before reverting to their normal form and allows them to do a hard slide that crushes anything in his way with a uneasy breaking system. This power-up does stack with the other Power-ups, however, you take less hits the more power-ups you have stacked on you.
SolarMushroom

Solar Mushroom

The Solar Mushroom allows the character to release a powerful one-time explosion of solar power that turns the stage into it's Day Form and removes all the power-ups they've collected on them.
LunarMushroom

Lunar Mushroom

The Lunar Mushroom allows the character to release a powerful one-time explosion of lunar power that turns the stage into it's Night Form and removes all the power-ups they've collected on them.
NegaMushroom

Nega Mushroom

The Nega Mushroom allows characters to slip into "Negaverse" cracks, making them black and white. Since these cracks are so thin, these segments are more akin to 2D sidescrolling. All prior power-ups stack. An additional effect while using the Nega Mushroom is that ground stomps travel out farther in a wave, knocking any enemy away within the ground pound's radius.
Chicken Suit

Chicken Suit

The Chicken Suit transforms characters into a Chicken Form. In this form they can float down slowly and throw eggs similar to fireballs but with less of a bounce and ineffective against fire or water based enemies. This power-up is overwritten by any of the flowers.
OniAppleEJ

Oni Apple

The Oni Apple transforms players into a Oni Form, who can create thundering cloud platforms that move to the left after three seconds and allows them to walk on lava. The clouds and lava walking effects carry over even when the player is using another power-up.
SuperCarrot

Super Carrot
Art by Peardian

The Super Carrot gives the player the ability to float in mid-air but also charge a super hop that gives a ton of vertical distance. This power-up stacks with just about everything, making it very useful to find.
CapefeatherMK8DX

Cape Feather

The Cape Feather gives characters a cape, which they can use to swipe at enemies with and fly after running. Caped characters can ascend and descend, and can fly for a very long period of time if the player is skilled enough to pull it off. One stray wind will send the player barreling down though!
BlueShell3DWorld

Blue Shell

The Blue Shell lets players swim faster, and gives them the Hammer Suit-like ability to dodge the attacks of enemies when they crouches. As long as they keep ducking, they will be safely protected from most enemies. They can also Shell Dash by running or sliding fast enough however jumping becomes extremely hard and requires quick reflexes. This stacks with most of the power-ups.
MagmaShell

Magma Shell

The Magma Shell lets players swim through lava (not in water though, that acts as lava in the player's case now), and gives them the Hammer Suit-like ability to dodge the attacks of enemies when they crouches. As long as they keep ducking, they will be safely protected from most enemies. They can also Shell Dash by running or sliding fast enough however jumping becomes extremely hard and requires quick reflexes. The Shell Dash also leaves behind a trail of fire that can take out otherwise hard to kill enemies. This stacks with most of the power-ups but replaces the Blue Shell if the player has it. It also gains some extra power the more Fire Stars a player collects.
BiddybudSuitEJ

Biddybud Shell

Allows the player to briefly fly for five seconds, even more if they collect coins. It also removes the character's ability to stomp, meaning that they will just stand or bounce off normally stompable enemies like Goombas. It also causes any nearby Biddybugs to follow the player similar to a certain captain, allowing the player to utilize them as platforms or as a weapon. The Biddybud Shell also allows players to stick to certain surfaces and climb them.
TechnocolorMushroom EJ

Technocolor Mushroom

AmiiboIcon

Use the Technocolor Mario amiibo from Nintendo 30 to summon this mystical power-up. It allows you to fly over pits and go through any enemy without stopping. No stars you collect will be counted; this is just for fun.

ClassicMushroomEJ

Classic Mushroom

AmiiboIcon

Use the Mario 30th Anniversary Collection amiibo from Super Mario Maker to summon this pixellated Mushroom that allows you to play as an 8-bit version of any of the characters. This gives you three extra hits and the heart system from Super Mario Bros. 2.

These spherical goombas roll around and if they spot Mario, roll towards him. They can be stomped like normal Goombas.
Kug EJ

Kug

Kugs are fake Goombas that vomit up a black noxious fluid if they see a character, before running towards them. If a character stomps on them, they'll explode into a harmful black fluid. The only way to kill a Kug without being harmed is through a projectile.
PiranhaGoomba

Piranha Goomba

Piranha Goombas come out of pipes similar to a Piranha plant, but Mario can stomp their heads. They can also switch from pipe to pipe, and if they switch to a clear pipe they'll be sucked out and act as a normal Goomba.
BluePiranhaGoombaHalved

Blue Piranha Goomba

These three headed Goombas have to stomped individually, making it a total of three stomps you have to preform before they're gone. Much like the original enemy they're based off, they can switch from pipe to pipe but clear pipes will suck them out and have them walk around like normal Goombas.
Golden Goomba NSMB2

Golden Goomba

Golden Goombas act very similarly to Goombas except they'll sometimes leave behind a coin. They leave up to five coins and somewhat incentivize players to not stomp on them right away.

GoomborgSWO

Goomborg

Goomborgs are strange Goombas that can't die through traditional means; they absorb the player's feet (requiring a shake or a button mash out) if they attempt to stomp them, they absorb projectiles and other enemies once they come in contact with them. They become bigger with the more things they absorb. If they absorb too much, they explode and often leave behind a Elemental Moon.

Koopas are enemies that Mario and others can defeat in a stomp, leaving behind a shell that they can kick, grab, or use underwater to travel faster. Koopa Troopas run toward perceived threats.
Troopuiose

Troopuiose

Morton Sr. used these in his reign. These proto-Koopa Troopas can still have their shells stolen but they won't slide across the ground, instead acting as a weight for switches. No matter how much you kick their shells, it won't budge.
Blue Troopuiose

Blue-Shelled Troopuiose

These Troopuiose live underground and have adapted to the darker atmosphere underneath. They wear Blue Shells which can be turned into a power-up for Mario and friends to use.

Octolot

Octolot
Art by Peardian

Octolots hover and attack with magic, somewhat similar to Magikoopas, although their magic can be countered with a projectile or melee attack. By stomping them or throwing a projectile attack at them, they are defeated.

These Bullet Bills explode and contract into a Black Hole when they meet their target. They can be diverted using a Light Cannon but otherwise they will explode into a black hole. They were reverse engineered from Cosmetta's black hole gun.
SMW2 Fuzzy

Fuzzy

When Fuzzies touch a player, it disorients their controls and vision. They can be destroyed with projectiles; just don't touch Fuzzy!
CosmicCloneEJ

Cosmic Clone

Cosmic Clones duplicate the movements of the player, requiring the player to make sure they're always a step ahead of these shadowy duplicates or risk getting hit.

Boo Artwork - Mario Party Island Tour

Boo

Boos are ghosts that are terribly shy, to the point where they can't move if Mario looks at them! However, despite their social anxiety, they can still be a rather deadly foe if Mario isn't looking at them.
Dark Boo NSMBS

Dark Boo

Dark Boos only move when Mario is looking at them, but when he isn't they'll fire a purple fire ball if Mario is still in range.
SolarKeeperBoo

Solar Keeper Boo

Solar Keeper Boos hold Solar Mushrooms in them to prevent the sun from ever rising again. They are also very wary of light, meaning you'll have to chase them with light to defeat them and take the Solar Mushroom from them.
BiddybooEJ

Biddyboo

Biddyboos are a crossbreed of a Biddybud and a Boo. They come in groups of five. They can't be stomped and are harmful to the touch, but only move in the circle or line they're in if Mario's not looking. The player can stand on them if he is wearing a Biddybud Shell.
Bully Artwork SMEJ

Bully

Bullies charge themselves into their enemies in order to push them over ledges, knocking their enemies into lava or bottomless pits. The only way for players to beat a Bully is to push it into the lava or use projectiles to do so- they can also be stomped via Thwomp.
Furnace Bully Artwork SMEJ

Furnace Bully

These Bullies explode after being pushed around too much; either push them into the lava or get clear away from them before they explode.
Underwater Bully Artwork SMEJ

Underwater Bully

These Bullies swim around under the water, pushing the player downwards to drown them. They can be sucked out via pushing them towards a Clear or Amber Pipe that's around.
BullyMaskGoomba Artwork SMEJ

Bully Mask Goomba

These Goombas can't be stomped due to their incredibly hard mask, but they can be taken out from below, knocking their mask off. They act like normal Goombas behaviorally but lose their ability to really hurt Mario and don't push him as hard as Bullies do.
ThwompEJ

Thwomp

Returning to an even more blue-ish color, these Thwomps still haven't changed at all in function. If a character is close, they'll drop down, flattening anything under them. The player can climb on the top of them as a platform.
MagmaThwompEJ

Magma Thwomp

These Thwomps are just boiling mad, so much so that they rise and drop into lava with nary a scratch!
OceanThwompEJ

Ocean Thwomp

These Thwomps just go right through characters, absorbing and then spitting them out. They'll pretty much eat all your power-ups and leave you in your weakest form, and you best not come back or they'll just kill you. Don't get on top of them either, they're pretty much liquid and you'll suffer the same fate.
FreezyThwompEJ

Freezy Thwomp

These Thwomps freeze anything within their radius when they drop. You can still climb on top of them, and if you happen to be on top of them when they drop, you won't be effected by the chilly blast.
CloudThwompEJ

Cloud Thwomp

These Thwomps are high in the sky, floating just like all the other clouds. If they see the player near them, they'll drop extremely fast before going back up if there's no ground below them.
SandThwompEJ

Sand Thwomp

These Thwomps are made of sand, so when they drop, they explode into grains of sand. The player can stand on top of the sand and as the Sand Thwomp reconstructs, become part of the Sand Thwomp. In the Sand Thwomp form, the player has limited mobility when walking and cannot attack. Most enemies will ignore the player and their sliding becomes very fast. They can also place the Sand Thwomp anywhere they want and exit it.
WalleyeEJ

Walleye

Walleyes scoot to the left and right to block the player. Their sides and top are not safe to touch but their front and back are. They can be stunned with projectiles and destroyed with high star level flower charges.
Dry Bones MPSR

Dry Bones

Dry Bones are undead Koopas who revive themselves seconds after being stomped on. While they can't truly die, it's best to incapacitate them when you can. Spreading their pieces can make the revival period just a bit longer.
Dull Bones ACL recolour

Dull Bones

Dull Bones are undead Koopas who can't actually revive themselves after being stomped on and don't even leave a shell for the trouble. No wonder they're called Dull Bones!
PollutedPiranhaSMEJ

Polluted Piranha

Polluted Piranhas can only be defeated through the freezing effects of a Ice Flower or a Ice Block. Doing so will freeze them up and damage them. They must be either be hit with a Ice Block three times or hit with nine Ice Balls. They summon Goobles to defend themselves.
GooblesElementalJourney

Goobles

Goobles stroll around casually until they spot the player, in which they Swoop towards them to attack. They can be taken out using ice blocks or ice balls, as well as a stomp, although stomping in the air is preferred. If they are stomped on the ground, they leave a goop puddle that's toxic to the touch.
Blokkabloks

Blokkablok

Blokkabloks are enemies that fly around, containing up to 7 different blocks across their body. They cannot attack traditionally, merely hovering around in a set route. The player can destroy their blocks, although they should be careful in case the Blokkablok turns their blocks on the other side, causing the player to hit a spike if they are not careful. When all blocks are destroyed, the Blokkablok ceases to be.

He releases a Fire Star and a mysterious book (entitled "Project Excalibur") upon defeat.

Jumpy Koopa

You see, King Nabbit put up a stealing tax, meaning that 50% of anything that a Nabbit steals go to the greedy king. King Nabbit attacks with a wand he stole from a Magikoopa. The player must grab valuable things and lure King Nabbit over so that they can stomp on his back as he bends over. This must be done three times.

Project Excalibur Storybook[]

When the player defeats Morty Kid, he drops a book entitled Project Excalibur. This book can be read at any of the main hubs and details the events and people before the current circumstances in the game. Specifically, the former rulers of the Mushroom Kingdom, what became Bowser's domain, Sarasaland, and the Cosmic Lighthouse.

The storybook begins with the birth of Khrysalis, created through cosmic energy and crystals. Khrysalis discovers her reality warping powers and since her understanding of the universe is so limited, she plays with the armies of Estrella and Ninna's Mushroom Kingdom, Morton Sr's domain, and Sarasaland. As the kingdoms are confused and not understanding why they're at war with each other, a Bandit by the name of Nocturne comes across Khryalis.

Nocturne tells the kingdoms why they are war and they discover that their elemental powers can encase Khryalis with its own protective shell. They mass produce elemental stars of Fire, Water, Thunder, and Earth using resources from all over the universe. When they have created enough Elemental Stars, Khryalis traps themselves into a protective shell. Estrella and Ninna leave the Mushroom Kingdom to observe the creature, to make sure it doesn't become free as Morton Sr. has two sons.

The end of the book reveals that Nocturne would later kidnap the baby Cosmetta to replace his role of the Cosmic Lighthouse's keeper. It also reveals that his current coordinates exist in an alternate dimension.

Power-Ups[]

When you use the Technocolor Mario amiibo, you summon the Technocolor Mushroom powerup. This allows you to basically walk over pits and go through any enemies, all while gaining uncontrollably fast speed. Any stars you collect won't count.

The Mario 30th Anniversary Collection amiibos summon the Classic Mushroom, which can be used by any character to turn into their 8-bit forms and gain three extra hits with a Heart System akin to Super Mario Bros. 2.

Rosalina Rainbow[]

Using any of the Rosalina Rainbow amiibos allows you to change the color of Rosalina's dress.
